About Me

I pretty much have had a love/hate feeling/relationship with every city/town I've ever lived (at least from around teenage years to now)...although the ratio of love:hate has varied from place to place. Here are the ratios: Chicago, IL: 87:13. Carrboro/Chapel Hill, NC: 70:30. Columbia, MO: 62:38. St. Louis, MO: 50:50. Raleigh, NC, Annandale, VA, and Ann Arbor, MI don't count since I was just a kid.

Ahhh, Spring?

It's officially spring, my favorite season of the year. But it certainly doesn't feel like spring in Chicago. I've heard from many people, including Chicagoans, that there really isn't a spring in this city because the weather's so inconsistent until May. I've been sensing the weather "wanting" to get warmer here, but right when it feels like it should be warm, it gets cold again. Oh well. As long as I'm stuck working my shitty job in Harvey (the Compton of Chicago), I guess I couldn't really take advantage of warm weather even if I wanted to just yet.

I also can't take advantage of the neverending list of potentially great shows coming here in the next month or two, especially because I'm so fucking tired by 9:00 most weeknights. I'm going to have to pick and choose which shows to go to. I've already committed to these following shows: Slint (this Friday night with some Chapel Hill friends, including Tim), the Animal Collective, M83 (who I haven't heard much of, but my friend Chris, whose music taste I admire, says he really likes), and Gang of Four.

I will also try to go to as many of these shows as I can (which is probably just a fourth) (in alphabetical order):
